VMWare AMD can't boot niresh .iso

Recommended Posts

When I try to install the niresh mac os x distro in my unlocked VMWare Workstation 10, and select the iso as a cd, and start the machine it just says unsuccessful it just forwards me to the VMWare EFI. I'm not sure how to set the bootflag amdfx -v from the EFI. The problem is, I can't even get into the niresh boot screen to type those boot options.

Sorry for ninja-posting like this, I finally found an answer after a couple of hours of trying, but ironically immediately after posting this topic. Delete it if you see fit.

By the way, if anyone was wondering what was the problem: I had to switch from efi to bios in the vmx files. I also had to switch to Linux Ubuntu because the Mac OS X 10.9 option in the VMWare Workstation, didn't let me boot for some reason.

New problem, hangs during installation on the Apple Logo with the loader. When using the -v bootflag it gets to the missing bluetooth controller transport, although I doubt that's actually the problem.

Tried a lot of boot options, like -x, -v, tried turning of the graphics enabler, tried to boot with -s then to move some stuff (found that solution online) but it says my drive is locked (probably because it's an virtualised drive whose source is an iso image.
